Event log
Events that occur while the
Database Server is running are logged and timestamped. Typical events that are logged include:
•Database Server starting or stopping
•database files opened and closed by the Database Server
•consistency checks performed on files that were not closed properly
•new, completed, upcoming, and currently running
schedules •the reason why an enabled schedule was not successful
•scripting errors from FileMaker script schedules
•predefined errors and conditions that the Database Server detects in your configuration
•current properties settings when the Database Server starts up, and settings that were changed during a Database Server session
Events are logged in the tab-delimited Event.log file that is created in the FileMaker Server/Logs/ folder.
To view information from the Event.log file in the
Log Viewer pane, see
Viewing log file entries.
Notes
•When the Event.log file reaches the log size specified on the
Database Server >
Logging tab, it is renamed Event-old.log and a new Event.log file is created. To configure the size of the Event.log file, see
Logging and statistics settings.
